Abstract

Decision making (DM) is an important problem in most of the army
operations. One of the challenging issues in this area is uncertainty in wars
with uncertain information which causes many destructive effects on the
results of strategies in battlefields. In the Heravi et al. article’s, published in
the year 2013, utilizing a combination of Cognitive Agent (CA) and
Classification based on Fuzzy Association Rules (CFAR) as the most
effective and widely used methods, was able to relatively reduce this
problem and tried to reduce uncertainty. But still in critical condition, can’t
deny the need to act quickly and remove most invalid and inefficient rules
extracted in the effective decisions.
This paper aims to utilize the capabilities of Genetic Algorithm (GA) in a
more realistic selection rules as a meta-heuristic way to combine
complementary methods to minimize the uncertainty in DM. In comparison
with previous method, experimental results achieved, clearly show that this
combination in addition to the advantages of the previous method, due to the
further reduction of production rules for DM, are more understandable and
accurate and has more rational risk acceptance.
